In 6.2.0 there is no way to configure it. In 7.0 this port isn't used, so you don't need to configure it. How to configure the other application to a static port I don't know

Hi Lukas,

Thanks for your effort !

Can you tell me how to set this port to a static one (i.e. port 1000)?

We are planning the upgrade.

Best Regards, Yordan

Hi Yordan,

I did some research and I found the problem. This RMI port is used for the designer as a JMX connection and sadly it's also started with the engine and there is no way to configure it to an other port at start up. If you can not start the other application before the engine, you can may configure this one so it don't uses the port 9999.

And you should also consider to update you engine to 7.0 because 6.2.0 is not longer supported and there is a security issue which is fixed with 7.0. In addition this RMI port is not used in 7.0.

BR, Lukas

Hi Lukas,

No, we haven't setup it and I don`t find any .ilc file on the server.

We noticed that the if the port 9999 is taken, this RMI TCP Accept property changed to 1000 automatically. So, this means that it is dynamically assigned to a free port. Is there a way to fix it to a specific port? We cannot rely that the axon ivy engine is started last, if the host is rebooted.
